ARTiculate Talk Series
Introduced in 2021, the ARTiculate Talk Series aims to provide senior high school students with additional support complementing the curriculum to enrich their understanding in HSC subjects related to arts, humanities, languages and social sciences.
Delivered by academic experts in the field, each talk explores key concepts taught in the classroom while providing further insight into the topics studied. These talks are designed to be a resource for teachers, and they provide a unique opportunity to engage with our outstanding academics as they share their knowledge and current research.
